Strengths
- “Pupils at William Austin Junior show the greatest respect to their friends and teachers.”
- “Pupils delight in coming to school and enjoy all aspects of ‘WA life’.”
- “They talk positively about cultural similarities and differences, including valuing different family lifestyles.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, plans are less clear and do not identify clearly what pupils must know to learn more.”
- “This leads to differences in what pupils are taught.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not always retain the knowledge leaders intend in these areas compared to the rest of the curriculum.”
